Tools for Engaging With Municipalities and the Public on Freshwater Issues
Guidance Documents The Delaware River Basin Policy and Practice Workgroup has developed guidance documents to provide foundational science references for environmental advocates collecting stream data and communicating results to local government officials. The target readership for these documents is the stream monitoring community in the Delaware River Basin, but the workgroup hopes others may benefit as well. The workgroup strongly believes environmental advocates must understand the science and issues under discussion. Therefore, the documents are detailed and rigorous so advocates can engage in confident and informed dialogue. Example Communication Materials Though some are geography-specific, these flyers, brochures, fact sheets, and presentations can serve as inspiration for producing materials to share with municipal governments and the public. Brochures, Fact Sheets, and Flyers PowerPoint Presentations Feedback If you have questions or comments about the documents, please leave a reply on this post.
